Schoolsickness

As the title implies, I miss being at school. I just can't really cope with having to be at home all the time. The problem is my mom. Well, I guess it's really me. The thing is she hasn't changed at all, she's still being motherly. The problem is that I don't want her to be. I've always been pretty independent which has made her being the parent somewhat difficult; I've never been keen her or anyone else telling me what to do. But now that I've been away to college for a year and having barely ever come home, it's just so uncomfortable around here. She expects me to ask permission to go out with friends and needs to know when I'll be back. It just sucks having to answer to someone all the time. And even though I'll be going to a new school this fall, I'm really looking forward to have some independence back.

Introduction

I think I have a pretty unique way of viewing the world. I find fault with everything. I indiscriminantly pass judgment on everything from politics and religion to music and people. But at the same time, I don't let what I think the bad things are get me down. In fact, I can be insanely optimistic and probably a bit overconfident. But otherwise I'd be eccentric and depressed, so I guess you could say I'm somewhat balanced. So even if I seem cold, cruel and mean-spirited it's only because I am, but I might surprise you every now and then with some insight and compassion.
